About the Program

On Being is a spacious conversation about the big questions at the center of human life, from the boldest new science of the human brain to the most ancient traditions of the human spirit. Each week, host Krista Tippett looks at the common and larger themes of American life through perspectives of faith, relying on a variety of traditions with her guests speaking in the first person.

Krista Tippett's Journal
"In recent years, she's delved into the fact that children in every language and culture studied by linguists have huge animal vocabularies. She's puzzling, these days, over what that says about us as human beings. … Alone among the creatures, as Jean Berko Gleason puts it, we are able to reflect, to be conscious of ourselves, and to comment on that."
